Cornmeal Crusted Fish
Servings
6 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ pounds flounder salmon or tilapia, make sure the fish is thin
- 1½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup coarse ground yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup plain flour
- Canola oil for frying the fish
- Tortillas optional (for Fish Tacos)
Instructions
- Combine the panko crumbs, cornmeal, and spices in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk. In a third shallow dish, add the plain flour.
- Line up all 3 dishes. Dip each piece of fish in each bowl (flour first, then egg and finally panko crumbs). Make sure to shake off each piece of excess mixture.
- Set the pieces aside in a single layer until ready to fry.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (360°F).
- Working in batches, add the fish to the pan and fry until the coating is crispy and the fish is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and transfer to a serving platter.
- If making fish tacos, preheat the oven to 300°F. Tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven to warm.
- Remove the tortillas from the oven and place on a serving plate.
